This thesis investigates the environmental implications of phosphate mining in Morocco’s Khouribga region. Phosphate rock is essential for agriculture, industry, and emerging technologies due to its high phosphorus content and the presence of rare earth elements (REE) and uranium. However, the mining processes release dust and tailings containing potentially toxic metals (PTMs), including cadmium and chromium, which contaminate soil, water, and air, posing risks to ecosystems and human health. The study leverages remote sensing technologies, EMIT and ECOSTRESS sensors, to evaluate mineral distributions and environmental impacts in Morocco’s Khouribga phosphate mining region. EMIT’s hyperspectral imaging captures unique spectral features of minerals, while ECOSTRESS, is repurposed here to differentiate critical minerals like quartz and apatite.
